Custom Stroke 360mm Hydraulic Cylinder in Luffing Equipment

Luffing hydraulic cylinders play a vital role in various heavy-duty
applications, including bucket wheel excavators, reclaimers, and stackers.
These cylinders enable smooth and stable movement of the equipment's arm, even
in dynamic and continuous operations. They often operate in challenging
conditions, exposed to chemicals and abrasive dust, making corrosion resistance
a critical feature.
Heavy industries, such as oil rigs and cranes, rely on luffing cylinders for
their efficiency and reliability. While they may come with a higher initial
cost, their performance makes them a dependable choice. In crane jibs, the
luffing mechanism utilizes a hydraulic luffing cylinder in conjunction with a
pressure sensor. These components are essential for ensuring the seamless
operation of the jib.
Luffing cylinders can be categorized as either single-acting or double-acting.
The double-acting piston oil cylinder is the more common type. On the other
hand, a single-acting plunger luffing jib features a single oil port and a
double-stage telescopic luffing cylinder. This configuration allows for quicker
lowering of the luffing jib when done manually, facilitating efficient jib head
reeving.
These versatile cylinders find applications across various industries,
including heavy construction and mining equipment. They excel in scenarios that
demand high lifting capabilities. Additionally, luffing cylinders are crucial
in mining operations, where the design of the luffing sleeve is of utmost
importance to ensure optimal performance and durability.
